If I had the opportunity to be who ever I wanted for 24 hours I would be Jennifer Lawrence. She is well known for her acting abilities and I would give anything to be as talented her. Out of all the actresses in the world I believe she is the most down to earth carefree celebrity. Anyone who has watched her interviews knows that she is straightforward and does not read from a script. She has an amazing personality and hair to die for. I wish I could go back in time to when she first started her acting career so I could live out how she made it big.
